in this research, synthesis and characterization of silver/alumina composite powders was investigated. this kind of metal/ceramic composite powders is used for fabrication of cutting tools inserts. the role of silver is toughening the final product. the powders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. the composition of the synthesized powders was ag/80% wt 〖al〗_2 o_3. silver nitrate, alum...

Searching the sequence databases has revealed two novel cytokines: interleukin-23 (IL-23) and IL-27. These cytokines are quite similar to, but clearly distinct from IL-12 in their structures and T-cell stimulatory fashions. In contrast to IL-12, however, little is known about the roles of IL-23 and IL-27 in the immune regulation. Previously, we evaluated the prime-boost immunization consisting ...

In this study, the combined effects of strengthening, precipitates, and textures on the shape recovery ability and superelasticity of thermomechanically treated Ti49.3Ni50.7 shape memory alloy (SMA) in both the rolling and transverse directions were studied by experimental measurements and theoretical calculations. Experimental results and theoretical calculations showed that the 300 °C × 100 h...

We demonstrate how three "state-of-the-art" techniques may be combined to build a bridge between atomistics and microstructure: (1) first-principles calculations, (2) a mixed-space cluster expansion approach, and (3) the diffuse-interface phase-field model. The first two methods are used to construct the driving forces for a phase-field microstructural model of theta'- Al2Cu precipitates in Al:...

High-strength low-carbon ferritic steels attaining a maximum yield strength of 1600 MPa by combined Cu and NiAl precipitationstrengthening were developed. The yield strength of the alloys increases monotonically with the total concentration of the principal alloying elements i.e. Mn, Cu, Ni and Al. At 12.40 at.%, a 1600 MPa yield strength is achieved after solution treatment at 950 C followed b...

Contemporary imaging air Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) for ground-based very high energy (VHE) gamma ray astronomy have prime focus optical design. Typically these telescopes have a (2−4)◦ wide field of view (FoV). They use f/0.7−f/1.2 optics and provide (3−10) ′ resolution in the FoV. Generally, a well designed telescope that includes more than one optical element will offer some advantages not ...

The 17m Imaging Air shower Cherenkov Telescope MAGIC (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Canary Islands) has recently entered its commissioning phase. One of the main goals of the MAGIC telescope project is to provide an unprecedented sensitivity for the detection of gamma rays with energies as low as 30 GeV. A dedicated search for the gamma rays expected to be produced by WIMP annih...

The goal of this paper is to give a definition generalization fuzzy prime $\Gamma $-ideals in $-rings by introducing 2-absorbing and weakly completely commutative their properties. Furthermore, we diagram which transition between definitions $-ring. Finally, introduce quotient $-ring $R$ induced the $-ideal $2$-absorbing

There are several statements equivalent to the famous Riemann hypothesis. In 2011, Solé and Planat stated that hypothesis is true if only inequality \(\zeta(2) \cdot \prod_{q\leq q_{n}} (1+\frac{1}{q}) > e^{\gamma} \log \theta(q_{n})\) holds for all prime numbers \(q_{n}> 3\), where \(\theta(x)\) Chebyshev function, \(\gamma \approx 0.57721\) Euler-Mascheroni constant, \(\zeta(x)\) zeta f...
